All Cookware & Baking

If you’re going to impress in the kitchen, you need quality cookware and bakeware that won’t let you down: at Habitat you’ll find stainless steel and cast aluminium pans that distribute heat evenly and efficiently, together with glazed terracotta baking dishes that go straight from the oven to the table and, of course, our famous chicken brick.

WHAT COOKWARE CAN YOU FIND AT HABITAT?

If you fancy yourself as the new Nigella, a Jamie in the making or a polite version of Gordon, then you’ll no doubt be craving a little information about our range of cookware. We think it’s incredibly tasty to look at, with all the latest gadgets and classic utensils at your disposal.

Cookware at Habitat offers a standout selection of all your favourite pots and pans - something that caters to every dish you want to cook. Not sure where to start? We recommend going for the basics to begin, an assortment that can provide you with the solid foundation your cookware collection needs. After all, you can always add more specialist pans at your leisure

To begin, we suggest stocking up with a frying pan, griddle pan, a wok and saucepan - at Habitat you’ll find all our designs combine function with unbeatable style. A casserole dish is also a good bet, perfect for cooking something traditional and filling for all the family. If a touch of international flavour is more to your taste, then select a paella dish and create the taste of Spain in the heart of your own home.

For those who are looking to begin a health streak, so inspired by the Ellas of the world, then a steamer will be just what you’re looking for. A healthy way of cooking, steaming food also makes it all the more tasty, working its magic on everything from fish to chicken, vegetables and rice. What’s on your menu?

WHAT MATERIALS ARE HABITAT POTS AND PANS AVAILABLE IN?

You might ask whether you need a standard baking dish for that casserole or paella, or if an oven-to-table dish is more appropriate? Which materials are easiest to clean? Which look most attractive on the dining room table?
Well, at Habitat we take all such possibilities into consideration, providing different types of cookware, all fit for purpose across a number of kitchen activities.

On one hand, we craft a range of cookware that is made from cast aluminium, as well as a premium stainless steel selection - both are non-stick ranges, with several different types of pans included. Not that we’re showing off or anything, but every pot is developed by a factory in Spain that specialises in professional cookware. In fact, they are even supplying the pans for the Spanish version of Masterchef. We think this makes them the ultimate cookware & utensils for any chef and kitchen.

We also boast a range of oven to tableware that is presented in various colours and patterns, ensuring they add to your dining table’s attractive aesthetic, rather than distracting from it. From ceramic cookware to terracotta and enamel, there’s something for everyone - and a pot for every recipe. Simply cook in the oven and serve straight away - just remember to place on a protected surface, such as a trivet, in order to avoid any mishaps.

No matter its composition, all of our oven to tableware pots are suitable for high oven temperatures up to 180 degrees, even those more decorative varieties. Our range really is the epitome of style meets function.

BIG OR SMALL; WHAT IS THE BEST FOR YOU?

When it comes to the issue of size, it’s best to bear in mind that matching the size of pan to size of the burner is actually one of the most important things to consider, prior to cooking.

Why is this? Well, in order for you to create the right temperature for cooking, the actual cooking surface must be an even temperature. If parts of the bottom of the pan reach beyond, say, an electric element or gas flame, then all will not be heated. There could even be the risk of a 100 degree difference in temperature between the edge of the pan and the centre, depending on the actual size of the pan.

In addition to this, if your pan doesn’t cover all the element then you are wasting energy, not to mention exposing yourself to a potential burn. Be safe. Be green. Size it up.

HOW ELSE CAN YOU DECORATE YOUR TABLE?

To help showcase your beautiful new, oven to table cookware, then it pays to think about accessorising. After all, while some tend to view the dining room table as something to only decorate come Christmas, we love going to town on it all year round. It doesn’t take much to add character. A vase
or two here and several candles there can bring warmth to your table - a flickering flame will expertly highlight any prints and patterns that might adorn your cookware. Glassware
and table linen also work well together in adding splashes of colour, or simply creating a crisp, clean aesthetic. Think we’re onto something? Read our ‘Homing in: How to set the perfect dining table’ blog post for a few more helpful ideas.
